5 Fashionable spots in New York for kids (Part 1)

Inspired by New York Fashion week and the other three fashion capitals I’ve spoken to some hip mamas who have revealed their favourite places and secret spots of interest for a fun and fashionable days out with the kids.

Some you may be lucky enough to have been too these cites or live near them, for others it may just be ideas to keep for future holidays and trips. Either way you will be one step ahead of the fashion-crowd just knowing these hot addresses!

Brooklyn Bridge Park has the best free outdoor activities including a water rock pool, cool play park with the best climbing frames and roller skating. And, don’t miss Jane’s Carousel in the Dumbo section – it has the best views!

Can you believe we’ve lived in New York for over 6 years and never actually been here! – but, it’s meant to be fab – and, it’s on our list. There is a snow leopard, penguins, polar bears, a sea lion pool and even a 4D theatre.

Shake Shack started as a hot dog cart in Madison Square Park and now has several locations across the city. Famous for its ‘roadside burgers’, hot dogs and frozen custard – I mean really what kid (and parent) doesn’t like milkshakes and hot dogs? A winner all round.

A club-come-play-centre where you can enjoy a family meal and have a dance too – there is also kids music workshops in the daytime. We also really enjoy the pop up bands all over the city at various times in the year.

hello!

Hello there, I'm Bonita.
Having worked for the last 17 years in the fashion industry as a magazine fashion editor and stylist it would be safe to say I know a thing or two about shopping…. And, that really hasn’t changed since becoming a mum to Miss Marnie in 2012 – I just have more shopping to do - for both of us.
